Sometimes im really wondering why people get facebook anyway.
To show photos share stories or just pretend to be happy very happy?
When i put nice pictures and happy messages on it people tend to like and and want to stay friends.
when im sometimes in a not so good mood and as...

when it comes to meeting people. I have only connected with friends and family rather than meeting people there (not saying that was really bad). I have also been bullied on your website a few times too by the people I know rather than being able to just meet new people I may be...

for many years and decided to close it. I started realizing the amazing waste of time of just strolling down the "Your friend likes this and that and for the 100th time this month wants to share what she had for breakfast" .. It became one of those things that I barely had time...

Hello Everyone,I have just experienced something on Facebook that I thought I might write here. It's more of a Facebook double standard if I might say so. I find that it is better to ***** about life here than on FB.I mean that you can write about something that bothers you on EP...

and really, there has been no difference to normal life.
Except I forget people's birthdays now.
Anyway, I was thinking about how Facebook would have the stupid relationship status thing - Single, Married, Engaged, It's Complicated. Everytime someone changes this status, there...

happy with my kids, my husband, my home, my dog, etc. and I have pictures to prove it". And you're supposed to feel good about yourself because people on the Internet liked and commented your publications. What if you live your life with you kids with its ups and downs without...

I'm an active member on both the sites but I found that I can be myself here on EP. Facebook is good to connect with people you know but you cannot be very open there. On EP I can write anything I like and there are people who understand what I want to say and I can share my...

recently, lol.
So what was interesting was that I posted the same kind of things on there that I do on here (not as often though). The difference? On Facebook I barely get comments. So this was why I found EP special - people appreciate my thoughts here, than the people I...

I admit it. I've started to use EP like FB. Posting status changes and commenting on friend's whiteboards...hell, I may even add some pics soon. And I feel no shame.
Several years ago, I was so out of the loop and depressed in my miserable marriage, I had never even heard of FB...

friends for my witty posts and status updates but still I think Facebook is not going to make my life any better so I have deleted my Facebook. While on the other hand everyday I learn something new from EP so I think EP > FB.

I'm sick and tired of trying to read someone's story or experience and having it disappear and be hijacked by a ******* ad for Disneyland or some such ****! I can't get it off the screen. I am unable to read stories, comments etc!
Is that how it's going to be EP? I have to...

of my filters and been honest about how I feel and what I feel about each response/story I have shared; I have also interacted with a handful of people whom I am able to relate with directly, even one of which has truly captivated me, some of my thoughts, and has touched my...

daily activities, that is really boring and silly but rather i want something special enables me to express my deep feelings and thoughts. Briefly i want a mirror to reflect my inner personality, and EP does that to me.

that make EP better than Facebook is the anonymity. I can write and be myself without judgement or seeing "TMI" from someone.
Additionally, Facebook bums me out with all the beautiful pictures portraying how well an prosperous other people are doing in their lives. I know it...

Facebook. I only go on to access my old photos. The less I log in the happier I am. Makes me think of the crazy stuff people post and how much of a disconnect there is from reality. It's hilarious when people post hundreds of pics/statuses of their lovers, then end up deleting...

and if I could, I'd delete my acct, and never look back.
but you can't delete your account, there's no anonymity., and you can't go under whatever name you wan't, most every post is just another thread of BS, that no one ACTUALLY cares about, and they just like, comment, and...

Having p*rnography on this site is gonna happen, honestly, without it, this app would be ****, and taken over by hormonal teenage girls who just whine about their life.
There should be an EP 18+, and an EP 18-
But that's my opinion, sure. A lot of people would be like...

) but I find more and more that it seems so fake and unreal. There are very few of my friends who know what my life is really like, and due to the fact that so many family members are on there and so much can be shared I am reluctant to use it much these days. On EP because it...

Facebook is fake. Everyone just tries to look cute and successful and to get attention. No one ever says anything real on it like on here. I mean i don't care what restaurant someone went to dinner to last night. I feel like people are "watching" me or something on facebook. I...

Yep, harmless me. It was not pretty either. It takes a whole heap of stuff to make me mad but I let loose yesterday.
What is it about being online that causes people to lose every shred of decency and common sense?
I didn't want to join Facebook. If I want to see or talk to...
